Android 4.4 Canada HTC One Status

This weekend, HTC Canada updated its webpage with some pretty exiting news for on-contract HTC One owners who are champing at the bit to get the much-anticipated Android 4.4 KitKat software version on their handsets. As of today, Bell, Roger (who are also working to certify the latest upgrade for the One mini), TELUS, Virgin Mobile, Wind and SaskTel are all working around the clock to certify the latest upgrade. So, presuming no problems are detected, we only have a couple more days to wait for the rollout to begin.

LG unwrapped its first high-end Android-powered flagship tablet, the G Pad 8.3 in the United States back in October, 2013, however, the South Korean company has never mentioned that an LTE-enabled variant would also be touching down in the States, too.

In a tweet published earlier today, HTC U.S.A revealed that the much-anticipated Android 4.4 KitKat update for all Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile branded handsets of its flagship smartphone, the One, has just entered carrier labs for final testing, and we should be seeing certification as early as next week (certification is the third of four necessary stages involved in pushing out an OTA). So, hopefully, presuming no problems are detected, we only have a couple more days until the over-the-air upgrade starts arriving on our devices.
